Finally! Something has actually gone right for the New York Giants, off to an 0-2 start marked by both poor play and inexplicable roster management.
Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, traded by the Giants to the Dallas Cowboys during training camp, has now appeared in two games for Dallas. That means the trade compensation, with the Giants a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and sending their seventh-round pick in that same draft to Dallas, has now become official.
Phillips had to be on the Cowboys’ 46-man game day roster for two games for the pick swap to kick in.
